Best Fishing Kayaks Under $1500

The Moken 10 Lite by Feel Free is an excellent little 10-foot kayak, with great seating and paddling ability. This light kayak still offers decent tracking ability and stability from its lower seating arrangement, making it a great option for those that don’t need the stadium-style seating arrangement and are used to more traditional kayak seating positions.

One of the biggest selling features of this kayak though is the patented wheel in keel design that allows you to pull your kayak along when outside the water and move it on dry land. So, if you’re moving around the garage or down the boat ramp it negates the need for a trolley.

Overall these are the perfect kayak for those looking for superior stability and a dryer ride.

The Gyro is one of the best all-rounders when it comes to kayaks. With a 10-foot hull design and pointed nose, it will cruise through the water in a straight line…With a lower seating position, it gives you a good presence in the water to increase stability. It’s a fantastic paddler for the long days on the water, or those cheeky overnighters.

With two rod holders behind you, there is the option to take rods with you if you did want to do some fishing. This updated design has a rudder included to help with drifting as your fishing. On top of the rudder, there are 2 compartments for storage, one in front of you for storing your tackle or lunch. The one on the bow gives you full access to the kayak for internal storage options of gear.
